Fox News Reacts to Trump-Xi Meeting as Scrutiny Grows
Summary
The MeidasTouch Podcast criticizes Fox News hosts for attending a lavish state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping, contrasting their celebratory social media posts with their usual anti-communist rhetoric. The hosts highlight the hypocrisy of figures like Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham partying with oligarchs while Americans face high inflation and healthcare crises. They also discuss Trump’s record-low approval rating and mock the network’s recent focus on transphobic talking points regarding Barack Obama.
